You've basically touched on one of the core logical issues at play in Abrahamic religions (and others). God is omnipotent and omniscient, or people have free will. It can't be both.
Here is a nice visualisation of the logical paradox:
God knowing what you will do does not remove your responsibility of the decision you made.
This isn't about responsibility, it's about preventing suffering. If you could prevent a genocidal leader from being born, which you knew would save hundreds of thousands of innocent lives, why wouldn't you? Because it's that person's "responsibility" that all of those innocent people died after all?
God existing would absolutely place all responsibility upon God, not on its creation for doing only what it was created and constrained to do by that God. Every "decision" would require that God to allow it, making that God responsible.
So is God powerless to stop people from committing evil?

That is not an answer, it's a man avoiding the question entirely.
